7. Prevents Osteoporosis
We often think that osteoporosis is associated with old age, but in truth just about anyone of any age can have it. Osteoporosis is defined as a disease in the bones in which the quality and density decline. Normally as people age the bones dissolve and create cells simultaneously in a process called remodeling. However, the bones of those with osteoporosis lose cells quicker than they can build new ones. This causes the bones to be fragile and feeble, and in a worst-case scenario, it may even crack just from a light blow or sneeze.
It is hard to perceive since it occurs silently and in phases, and is only known once the first fracture happens. Anyone can acquire osteoporosis, however, it is most susceptible for post-menopausal women to develop this.
Research has found out that there are many minerals contained within nettle leaves, most important being calcium, magnesium, and iron. These minerals aid in preventing the gradual deterioration of bone mineral density.
